If this government is not smashed to atoms over tbia question it will bo a Bad day for Can- ad*. Trade and revenue arc side issues compared with the importance of tliis question : Will it pass? pro- The much talked of remedial bill will , ire this reaches the public, be before the House at Ottawa. From a cast of its nature in both the \Y,n M and Mail we would simply infer that the minority IB given even tiling it asked for and probably more than it expected. It grant* separate schools to Manitoba. It provides for the appointment of a Catholic board of cducaliuo for the province, all to be Roman Catholic, which will be all powerful in the selection of text books, issuing of ceiiificatea, and many other things; a superintendent of separate schools murt be appointed. I'ower is given to the board to enforce the collection of tax >.s. In the event of the province neglecting to appoint a board the federal government will do to. In the face of all these things the despatch (which, by Hie way. bears the stamp of authorizati n, aud does not appear to have come as an ordinary reportoiial despatch) says that the bill will "in no iiiauiur , i form be found to encroach upon the cherished principle of provincial autonomy or contain any pro. bearing the semblance of coercion." We would like to ask in all strioua- uess if the framers of that bill cr.i- sider that the people of this country are unable to understand what thoy read t There is nothing in this pro- posed measure so ambiguous that the people cannot clear!) see coercion clicking out of every line of it. The same despatch gives us the not too joyful! intelligence that "the bill will become law. It will carry in the House of Commons by a majority ranging between 20 and 30." It claims that sufficient Quebec Liberals will vote for the bill tocouuUi balance tho defection* on tho Conservative side. Will it actually d.> so ? is the very important question agitating all minds. This paper protests loudly against it as a form of ini-pity which oliould not be tolerated, and we have i'ie satisfaction of kuowmg that there are able men at Ottawa who will fight to the last breath to pro /cut its passage. If obstruction were ever justifiable it will bo in this case. No semblance of coercion, indeod ! This is what the Globe thinks about it: "Tbe Manitoba Catholic is, iu short, to be handed over body and bones to an iriosponsible oligarchy, who will establish schools for him, appoint the teachers, choose the text-books, map out the course of study, collect the taxes, and, we suppose, if the Uxea are not forthcoming, send its bailiffs to seize his household gear by way ol uiforciug obedience. And this is called, Heaven save the mark t 're- di easing the grievances of the mi noiity ' " In an excellent article from the To- ronto World we find those wi>l "The present moment, not the future, is the time foi the government to realize that the diiect sequence of coercive legislation H revolution and civil war." The Hamilton (Spectator aks . "Could coercion go farther than that '.' Could anybody iU vie a moie unjust law llian that? We think not." I n the face of all these Berions expressions of opinion aud the warnings that have from tiuie to tiino been given, the Conservative govern- ment at Ottawa lias blindly ruthed on Without waiting for the slow cesses of Turkish official action, Clara Harton, president of tho Am.n- can National Red Cress Society, with several assistants, Btarted for < Htautinople January '2'2.
